On control of a class of overhead cranes via Monte Carlo simulation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Overhead crane is a type of a system that has inherent variations in some of its parameters. These parameters include cable length, trolley mass, and payload. Therefore, the interval parameter concept plays an important role in the control of such systems. This paper presents a new technique based on Monte Carlo Simulation to properly select optimal controller parameters to minimize the overshoot of the swing angle response of the payload regardless of the variations of the cable length. The cable length is assumed to be known within lower and upper bounds. Simulation results are provided to show the usefulness of the suggested approach to control overhead cranes.
